After the shoot, the actress was convinced that she would not get the lead role in ‘Mana’. We are talking about actress Nandita Das, who narrated a memorable anecdote related to the film ‘Man’ when friend Aamir Khan was 60 years old.

The actress accepted defeat in front of Aamir’s insistence
In the caption of Nandita Post, I got the film from Aamir around 97-98 in connection with 1947 meaning. I think this is one of his magnificent performance. They may cheat me in the film, but we actually came together and our friendship continued. They wanted me to work in ‘Mana’. I was sure that director Indra Kumar and producer Ashok Thakeria were unhappy with the choice of Aamir. The black girl who has done films like ‘Fire’ and ‘Thousand Chaurasi Ki Maa’. There was no chance, but who would refuse Aamir. I also had no special interest, but Aamir was.

Nandita Das further wrote, ‘The photoshoot was kept, in which I had to look blonde with him. I was convinced that I do not want to do this film. Seeing this picture, he will laugh, but Aamir thank you for trusting me. It is said that Aamir had convinced the producer to give Nandita a role, but Nandita did not think he was fit for the role. Finally, Manisha Koirala appeared with Aamir in the film ‘Mana’, which also has special roles of Anil Kapoor, Sharmila Tagore and Neeraj Vohra and Rani Mukherjee.
